Hope they strip him of his licence. I’m not a doctor but an part of a regulatory body. If I said something out of line with most guidance and other people, I’d have to have pretty strong evidence backed up by at least one but sometimes two independent reviewers. If it was just a hunch I’d be stripped of my title so fast. This is in a field which does not directly impact peoples health or risk to life so really hope they throw the book at him
